There was once a man named Anthony who lived alone with his dog. He was a very rich and wealthy man, he didn't think that he needed a wife, friends or his family to make him happy so he never really talked to anybody. All he cared about was himself, his money, all the things he owned, and his dog. Whenever he would buy something new it would make him very happy and he never thought his happiness would go away.
One day his mother decided to go visit him in his big mansion and they sat down in the living room so they could talk. She told him " When are you going to find a wife, your not going to have that money forever" and all Anthony said was " I don't need a wife mom and I have a lot of money, I'm sure I'll have it for a long time time". She could never reason with her son, so we went home but before she left she only said one thing to him..."good luck son". After that he was wondering why his mom told him that, but after a few minutes he just forgot about everything she told him.
A few months later Anthony notices that something is wrong with his dog so he takes him to the vet. The vet tells Anthony that his dog is very sick and it would be best to put him to sleep so he doesn't have to suffer anymore. Anthony is crying when he goes in the room to say goodbye to his best friend. When he goes home he decides to stop at the mall and he buys himself a few things hoping it would make him happy again. It worked, but the next day the sadness came back and this happened everyday. He would be sad so he would go buy something to make him happy.
After a month or two, Anthony only had about $500 left. He spent all his money in that little time, but even though he didn't have a lot of money it didn't stop him from buying more things. Once he spent every dollar that he had, he had no idea what to do anymore. He was very depressed, all he did was stay home and lay in bed. One day his mom called him and she knew that something was wrong. He told her everything that happened and she said "you can come live with me and your dad if you want" and he decided to go. Being with his parents and talking about everything was starting to make him feel better about his life. Anthony finally realized that money isn't everything and it doesn't exactly make you happy, it's the people in your life that care about you that make you happy.
